The scale has currently been tipped in favor of big business and insurance companies. I’d like to see a balance where an injured worker has value and big business is encouraged to focus on safety first. The family who suffers the cost when one member gets injured at work is too high. The cost to the business to have safety as an action, not lip service in the company motto is so little.
The only way to bring balance back to the scale is if we get more people on the worker’s side of the scale. Big businesses’ lack of responsibility, empathy, and willingness to change has gone on for too long.
Let’s get a thousand voices becoming one. “We want the safest workplace and if one of us is injured we want the best care”.
